Texas National Anthem
Just for fun, if Texas had (or if they secede and soon need  ) a national anthem, what would it be and why ? No disrespect meant for the current state song, "Texas, Our Texas", but what do y'all think ? I was originally thinking of "Miles and Miles of Texas" by Asleep at the Wheel but now I'm kinda leaning toward "God Blessed Texas" by Little Texas. |

How about "Happiness is Lubbock Texas in my Rearview Mirror"?
For some reason, I was under the impression that "Yellow Rose of Texas" was already some kind of semi-official state anthem.

You do realize he came back to Lubbock at the end of the song?  |

Maybe something by Rage Against the Machine? They are great at anti-American songs.

It should at least be by a Texas composer. How about one of those songs by the Dixie Chicks?

I think that song is perfectly fine for our state anthem. |
